Which of the following documents certifies that you are licensed to ride a motorbike:
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
A. A valid driving licence appropriate to the type of motorbike.
Explanation
The question is about the document confirming the entitlement to ride a motorcycle. It is a valid driving licence of the appropriate category for the type of motorcycle - the answer is A.
The Vehicle Drivers Act states that the document confirming the entitlement to drive a power-driven vehicle is a driving licence issued in Poland, a military driving permit or an international driving permit, and also a driving licence issued abroad in certain cases; the temporary electronic driving licence is also such a document. For a motorcycle you need a category that matches its power: AM, A1, A2 or A. A temporary permit (answer C) is a vehicle document, issued for the duration of the registration process, and has nothing to do with the driver's entitlements. The mDokumenty app, today mObywatel (answer B), lets you show your driving licence data on your phone, but this is only a way of presenting it - the document is still the driving licence issued by the starost (head of the district authority), and in Poland you do not have to carry it with you, because the police officer checks entitlements in the register of drivers.
